I rarely post reviews, but this product is worth it. Only a month; durability seems good but is the only unanswered question. On every other point, I'm thrilled.

I have legs a bit shorter than the usual 5'10" dude, and finding a 34/30 that *really is* 30" in the inseam is extremely hard. The 34/30S in these pants fall at exactly the right length. Kudos to EMS for running a Short version.

Material is outstanding; with a light baselayer below, I've stood for hours in temps in the 20s and in snow up to my ankles (with gaiters on) and been warm. (My legs run warm, though.) With no gaiters, the elastic cinch at the bottom stays snugly over my mid-height hiking boots, whether I'm hiking or biking. No overheating, no moisture accumulation inside, and they shed snow and muck very well, still looking sharp at the end of the ride/ski.

Still winter outside, but I could probably use these for warmer weather hiking in spring and fall with no baselayer and feel great.

With the elastic out to the max, these pants fall straight-cut and look flattering. I look sharp at the local cafe or market after my outing.

I've had good luck with EMS's house brand, and this is another example. Nab 'em now, before they go up in price in the fall.

These are super comfortable pants for wearing outdoors while being active. It's possible to wear them in on a casual Friday...but just barely due to the hip pocket. If this was gone I'd get away with wearing them any day.

I use these pants for my power walks in fall, winter and spring. Great for mountain climbing, snow shoeing and cross country skiing as well. I went for my power walk this morning when it was 1 degree with the wind chill. I wore a pair of Nike Pro compression cold gear under them. My legs were a little cool but not bad. Two of my daughters asked me if they were my dress pants because they look so good. They feel extremely comfortable. My wife thinks they look great on me (her unsolicited comment). I am tired of wearing outdoor gear that performs well but is not flattering. That is why I love these pants. They are a quality piece of outdoor backcountry clothing that is very functional and yet looks greats. I am tired of sacrifice looks for function. These pants give you both! I will be buying a pair of Khaki colored ones. I already own the black. And what a great sale price!
